PPAK IFS Nearby Galaxies Survey

PINGSoft, is a set of IDL routines designed to
visualise, manipulate, and analyse integral field
spectroscopy (IFS) data based on either 3D cubes or Raw
Stacked Spectra (RSS) format. Any IFS data can be adapted
to work with PINGSoft, regardless of the original
data format and the size/shape of the spaxel.

PINGSoft
2 is a relatively major upgrade with respect to
the first version: the overall functionality and layout
have been improved, while the command syntax has been
simplified. This version includes new routines that offer
powerful spatial and spectral visualisation of the data,
improved extraction routines, and new analysis tools.
PINGSoft, is optimised for a fast visualisation
rendering, it supports RSS and 3D cube formats, it is
able to run on practically any computer platform with
minimal library requirements. Additionally, some
miscellaneous codes useful for generic tasks performed in
astronomy and spectroscopy are also included.

PINGSoft is distributed in the hope that it will
be useful, but without any warranty. Bugs, errors and
inconsistencies (especially with non-tested instruments)
are expected. If you want to report a bug, or if you have
